ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

Lifeline was produced in the late 89 and 1990 at Craig's 'EarthFlight Studio' in NYC. Besides his electric vibe playing the foundation of the CD is the Fairlight III production computer. Some of the sounds on this recording were of ancient instruments that Craig recorded from the Metropolitan Museum, and transferred into the Fairlight. Tracklist

Peyton's production, writing, and arranging skills contributed to many music dance, jazz, and pop chart hits. (including Peyton's own #1 NAC charting release, "Latitude, 40 Degrees North") In the 80's and 90's Peyton worked with a diverse group of artists including Dan Hartman, Michael Brecker, Steps Ahead, James Brown, Melba Moore, Nona Hendrix, Levon Helm, Darryl Payne, Arthur Baker, Nelson Cruze, and Keith Diamond. Peyton has written underscore music for the Friends series, the Smithsonian, PBS "Nature" series, and many TV productions and jingles. Many of Craig's productions are on his EarthFlight site.

Peyton: "I don't think of music as -mine-. The patterns are always out there, vibrating, changing, moving. When you really listen, you can grab a piece of the vast music ocean, work it, shape it with love, and share your sonic adventure."
